Houston National Golf Club

Lots of st Augustine grass on the course. Should have no place on a golf course. Weeds have taken over the fairways. Greens are good. Used to be a lot better. Not worth the money.

Overall a very good course to play. Understandably dry conditions but the greens were in excellent condition.

Have played this course a few times, the last time 3 years or so ago. The previous time the range was under construction. 3 years later it’s still looks like the moon’s surface. The layout is fun with interesting holes, but the fairways were crispy fried grass, and many tee boxes not any better. We had what seemed a reasonably wet spring and early summer - really expected better conditions. And no beverage cart on the non-member side on what was a very hot afternoon. If you don’t put a cart out then put some extra water stations out there! With the Golf Now Hot Deal the $65.00 I paid would be the high end of what they should be charging. Get the fairways in shape and then I would recommend going back!

The greens were in very good condition! The rest of the course had not been watered in months and was in horrible condition. Too bad because it is a very fun lay out.

Had my best round to date at HNGC. Being it’s the middle of August in Houston the tee boxes could use some love. However the fairways and greens were in great shape. Range amenities could use attention along with some water. Still had a great day and will return soon.

The front nine are in pretty good shape the 10-12 greens are in rough shape. Sand traps are in really bad shape and I would not recommend hitting out of them. The fair ways were pretty good and hitting out of the rough is challenging it’s very thick. This course challenges you if you miss fairways. As others have mentioned because the rough is thick you lose balls slightly left or right of the fairway. I lose 2 and they were maybe 5-9 yards right of the fairway.

Overall I’d play to again. I paid roughly 55 for the round which was a good value. Tee boxes are mostly in good shape staff was nice and helpful.

Greens were okay. However, the rest of the course was less than ideal. Bunkers were horrible and a lake in the middle of the par 5 12th hole. Serious drainage issues. The $92 weekend rate is not was overpriced IMO. You can tell they are putting all the money into the Members course.

The conditions have gotten really bad. Weeds around the fringe and rough way to long for non-tournament play, many dirt patches in the fairway. Some areas the rough is so low long it’s impossible to find your ball.

Easy to find each hole without needing a GPS, navigation map through the golf cart, they also have a car that goes around if you want to buy an extra drink or two while you play

I've played Houston International GC 8 times this year and this most recent round (07/25/26) will likely be my last for a very long time. There were so many issues! My tee time was at 10:30 AM, and the round took 5 ½ hours to complete because the Marshall was very liberal with allowing slow play by the 10:00 AM foursome. I didn't even play holes 13-17 because of the back-up. My cart mate and I drove through the aforementioned holes to see what was going on and potentially forego playing the remaining holes, only to observe the 10 AM foursome fishing for golf balls with NO GOLFERS playing ahead of them. Unbelievable!! We drove pass them and two small children (approximate ages: 8 and 5 yrs old), were instructed by one of the adult golfers to move the cart up as we drove by them. So, we drove through the 17th tee box and dropped our balls within our typical distance hitting driver off the tee box, so that we can hit an approach shot and putt out. We then drove to the 18th hole and it was wide open (SMDH!). We played the entire hole and ended our round. All but the greens were in really bad shape. I payed $96.35 for a round and course condition that was only worth $50.00. By the way, I was part of a foursome and all of our carts malfunctioned on the 12th hole, literally moving in slow motion. I called and spoke with Dennis in the pro shop, only to be told that there's nothing he can do other than reset the GPS. He did, and the issue still existed for all of the 12th hole, and recovered on the 13th hole. He offered to have someone bring out a different cart, but the issue had already resolved itself. I asked him to turn my GPS off and he said he couldn't do it because then it would allow me to drive anywhere on the course, essentially implying that I would violate golf course rules. I'm 52 years old and fanatical about doing things the right way and being a good citizen. Very disappointing! I'm going back to my home course: Memorial Park GC. Or, my other two favorites: Tour 18 GC and Golf Course at Houston.

Unkept rough, terribly kept fairways, badly kept greens, terrible pace of play, and about $50 over a fair price.

Fairways were in poor condition and rough were very high uncut. Lost lot of balls in rough. Greens were in good condition. Thr course has good layout, contours and can be a very good course if maintained, Course is need of maintenece.
